Description (Some HTML is OK)

Lemon drizzle cake


Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

  • 175g (6oz) margarine or
  • softened butter
  • 175g (6oz) caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 175g (6oz) self-raising
  • flour sifted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Grated rind of one lemon
  • pinch of salt
  • For the drizzle topping
  • 125g (4oz) of granulated sugar
  • 60ml (2fl oz) of lemon juice

Preparation (Some HTML is OK)

1. Heat the oven to 180C (gas mark 4). Lightly grease an 18cm (7in) round cake tin with a little extra butter or margarine and cut a piece of greaseproof paper or non-stick baking parchment to fit the base of the tin.

2. Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or a hand-held mixer for 1 minute, or until just combined. It's important not to beat the batter too much just long enough to make it smooth.

3. Pour or spoon the mixture into the tin, smooth the top and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 45-50 minutes. The cake is cooked when it looks well risen and golden.

4. Let the cake sit in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edge and turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool.

5. When cooked and cooled, prick the top with a skewer. Combine the granulated sugar lemon juice, without letting the sugar dissolve. Pour the sugar mixture over the top of the hot cake. The juice will sink in and the sugar will form a crunchy topping.

    Tried this yesterday. Cake is very delicious. The lemon and sugar drizzle is very very simple but tastes lovely.
